The Making of a Restaurant

 

Ggiata is one of LA's most beloved sandwich spots — and when the founders were ready to bring their flavor to Highland Park, they brought us along for the ride. No budget. No media plan. Just an open door, a Square-powered business, and a story we couldn't walk away from.

Approach

We spent 4 months behind the scenes, building a creative strategy from scratch and capturing the grit, vision, and heart it takes to plant roots in a new neighborhood. At the center of it all was Square — the partner that made it possible to focus on the food, the people, and the community, while the business ran seamlessly in the background. Because the real story of building a restaurant isn't just about the menu. It's about every decision, the neighborhood and the people that keep the dream alive.
